KOWON RIBFIT™
Not silicone — your own rib cartilage
RIBFIT™ is KOWON's autologous implant: your own rib cartilage, diced finely and shaped to fit your nose. Rather than putting something in, we chose to build it from your own tissue.

Explore four KOWON signature procedures: RIBFIT™, drooping tip correction, nasolabial angle surgery, and nasal thread removal.

RIBFIT™ autologous rib cartilage
A graft shaped from your own rib
Instead of silicone, your own rib cartilage is diced and shaped — easing the burden of foreign-body reaction and warping.
Right After
See the nose immediately after rhinoplasty, exactly as it is before recovery.
Outcomes and side effects vary from person to person. Bleeding, infection, swelling and asymmetry may occur. Please consult our medical team before making a decision.
